Definitely goes down to preference and what you're looking for in a card, but shadowless cards are often sought after by collectors for their rarity and unique look compared to their shadowed counterparts. They're from the early print runs of the Pokémon TCG, making them a bit of a collector's gem. So, if you're into the aesthetics and the rarity factor, shadowless might be your pick!

Honestly, shadow doesn't really affect how you play the game, but shadowless cards are a bragging right. They're the OG Pokémon cards!

Shadowless cards, hands down! They're like the first edition comics of the Pokémon world. Their value can be significantly higher than cards with shadows because they were part of the initial print run before the design change. It's like owning a piece of Pokémon history.

Shadowless? Overhyped. Sure, they're rare, but at the end of the day, a card's a card. Play the game, enjoy it, don't get too caught up in the details.

Gonna throw in a curveball here - depends on what you like to collect or play. If you're playing more than collecting, the shadow might not matter much. But if you're all about that collector's life, shadowless is the way to go for its rarity and potential value increase over time.
